B -- OUTSOURCING OF NUCLEAR FORENSIC ANALYSIS SERVICES SOL F08650-98-R-0006 DUE 063098 POC Lois Brockson, Contract Specialist (407) 494-8354 or John Moore, Contracting Officer (407) 494-0530 The 45th Contracting Squadron intends to negotiate a contract to outsource the environmental and ultra-trace nuclear forensic analysis services currently carried out at McClellan Central Laboratory (MCL), McClellan AFB, CA. Due to impending base closure, the government anticipates stopping operations at MCL after 30 Sep 99. It is anticipated that two separate forensic analysis programs will be outsourced: the Nuclear Plant Program (NPP) and the Reactor Products Program (RPP). The NPP deals primarily with the separation, analysis and identification of sub-micron particulate matter, while the RPP is primarily concerned with the separation and radioassay of atmospheric gas samples for elemental determination of sample components. Currently, the services are performed at the Technical Operations Division, Bldg 1080, the Russell Building, McClellan Central Laboratory, which was constructed ten years ago and contains 122,000 sq ft. Roughly half of this space is in actual laboratory processing rooms, and the rest is in administrative/office/facilities support areas. A documented history of operations at the current facility will be made available upon request. Due to the radiological work performed at MCL, the facility operates under a radioactive material permit issued by the Air Force pursuant to a license issued to the Air Force by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Offerors shall be responsible for providing a suitable site for performance of the contract requirements. It is anticipated that the Russell Building will be turned over to the Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) for the city of Sacramento, CA who may make it available for re-use. Any questions best answered by the LRA (i.e., business climate and facilties) should be directed to Mike Perry, Sacramento Board of Military Base Conversions, 3237 Peacekeeper Way, McClellan AFB, CA 95652, phone (916) 643-6877. Prospective sources must possess, or show the capability to obtain, an NRC broadscope radioactive materials license (or an agreement/state license/permit, as applicable for the facility where work will be performed), prior to performance start. Mission essential analysis equipment will belong to the government and be provided as government-furnished equipment (GFE), and the government will retain ownership. Due to the potential of contaminating trace-level mission samples, analysis equipment and areas of any facility used for environmental samples or nuclear forensic analysis services shall not be used for activities other than AFTAC work without the expressed written permission of the government program office. Performance will be required no later than 1 Oct 99 to assure uninterrupted support of mission requirements. Due to the nature of this potential effort, no foreign country sources will be considered. Prospective sources would be required to have DoD security clearances of at least the SECRET level. Participation in this potential effort would require both a facilities clearance and storage capability of at least the SECRET level. It isanticipated that offerors will be permitted to submit technical proposals on one or both programs. This acquisition is unrestricted. The applicable SIC code is 8734 and size standard is $5M. Draft solicitation issue date of 27 Feb 98 and proposal due date of 30 Jun 98 are tentative. Requests for the solicitation must be faxed to (407) 494-2560, mailed to 45 CONS/LGCXB, Attn: John Moore, 1030 South Highway A1A, MS 1000, Patrick AFB, FL 32925-3002, or e-mail address: john-moore@pafb.af.mil. Phone calls will not be accepted. Please include your fax number and e-mail address on any correspondence. Additional information may be made available in the future on the Patrick AFB 45 CONS web site for review. The web site address is http://www.pafb.af.mil/45LG/45CONS/45cons1.htm. Please DO NOT attempt to contact any laboratory personnel. Any attempt to do so may compromise your ability to bid on work at this facility. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered. See Notes 25 and 26. (0029)
